The river was a ten, improving Brunson to a full house and winning him $340,000 and back-to-back WSOP Main Event titles.Īmazingly, Brunson almost made it three WSOP bracelets won with ten-deuce but he was one pip out in 2005 when he won his 10th bracelet with ten-three. It was eight-five for Berland against ten-deuce for Brunson. The turn was a deuce, Brunson bet, Berland raised all in and Brunson called. Both players went to a ten-eight-five flop in a limped pot and checked.

The following year, Brunson found himself heads-up in the WSOP Main Event against Bones Berland. A deuce on the turn improved Brunson to a still second best two pair, but another ten on the river gifted Brunson a full house, the title of champion and $220,000 in prize money. Alto called and was a huge favorite to double his stack. On an ace-jack-ten flop, Alto bet the size of the pot and Brunson moved all in. While heads-up in the Main Event against Jesse Alto, Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson called a raise with ten-deuce of spades Alto held an unsuited ace-jack.
